Throughout my work i am continuously trying to escape from uniformity. With as little restrictions as possible i create space for experiment and development.
Surrounded by various forms of working material i play with its color, structure and texture. Doing so, I am constantly seeking for an appropriate mixture between these features which in turn creates further implications for the evolution of my project. On this quest the skin and the structure of objects are playing an ever increasing role.
The materials that I am working with consist mostly of common goods that are to be found and collected for a project. I reconstruct the material in an attempt to give it a new identity. Namely, I want simple objects and random moments to come together creating a common direction with a new purpose. For example, daily implements which at first sight are not appealing are accumulated and used to create greater distinguishing qualities that are asking for more attention. Thereby, an image is created where the small and innocent fades into the big, massive and peculiar, constantly gaining on momentum and changing the course of development.

Over the past years my work has changed from abstract to a more illustrative form. The story behind the work is getting a more prominent role. Furthermore, a new impulse while creating is needed in order to reflect and communicate. As a natural continuation within my developments i want my art to be my medium for communication.
After my graduation i have taken on many challenges and i started to be more confident and determined in the choices i make and tasks i perform. This development i want to continue in my future work. I want to introduce more layers without destroying the initial form.
I am intending to construct installations in installations, where the viewer has to peel of the layers to come to the source; the beginning of a story. I want to transit my present activities and ideas to projects on a bigger scale.
Projects that are interacting with the environment and that communicate with the public. I want to research the universal language
